Inspired by the rich history of Chinese mythology, this sweeping fantasy
is set in the ancient Kingdom of Xia and tells the coming of age story
of Skybright, a young girl who worries about her growing otherness. As
she turns 16, Skybright notices troubling changes. By day, she is a
companion and handmaid to the youngest daughter of a very wealthy
family. But nighttime brings with it a darkness that not even daybreak
can quell. When her plight can no longer be denied, Skybright learns
that despite a dark destiny, she must struggle to retain her sense of
self--even as she falls in love for the first time.
